When James Bowen found an injured, ginger street cat curled up in the hallway of his sheltered accommodation, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last thing he needed was a pet.

Yet James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom he quickly christened Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas.

Роман "Великий Гэтсби" (1925) - самое значительное произведение известного американского прозаика ХХ века Фрэнсиса Скотта Фицджеральда, которое повествует о крахе "американской мечты" - романтизированной идеи преуспевания, доступного каждому. Главный герой романа, Гэтсби, добивается успеха и богатства в надежде на счастье, но не может осуществить свои романтические идеалы в обществе, где царит культ богатства, жадности и равнодушия. Непринужденное повествование, мастерски передающее ощущение эпохи "века джаза", отличается тонким психологизмом и образностью языка. Роман сопровождается лингвострановедческим и лексико-грамматическим комментарием. Книга адресована широкому кругу читателей, изучающих английский язык.
